Abstract
A new and distinct ×Heucherella plant substantially as shown and described, characterized by medium size, palmatifid leaves with prominent sinuses, silver veiled leaves that change background colors from purple tinted green to copper tinted, prominent dark veins in summer through winter leaves, a low mounding plant habit, grows equally well in full sun or filtered shade in the Pacific Northwest, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: ×Heucherella.
Variety designation: ‘Cracked Ice’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of ×Heucherella and given the cultivar name of ‘Cracked Ice’. ×Heucherella is in the family Saxifragaceae. ×Heucherella ‘Cracked Ice’ originated from a controlled cross between Heuchera K326-5 (a proprietary unreleased Heuchera hybrid), as the seed parent, and Tiarella 58-7 (a proprietary unreleased Tiarella hybrid), as the pollen parent.
Compared to the seed parent, Heuchera K326-5 (unpatented), the new cultivar has leaves that are more lobed and flowers that are white rather than purple pink.
Compared to the pollen parent, Tiarella 58-7 (unpatented), the new cultivar has silver rather than green leaves.
Compared to ×Heucherella ‘Quicksilver’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,081, the new cultivar has leaves that are more deeply lobed and with more dark, prominent veins.
Compared to ×Heucherella ‘Gunsmoke’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,395, the new cultivar has a smaller habit that is tighter and denser, shorter flowers, leaves that are more silver, glossier, and have round sinuses in terminal lobes on mature leaves.
This new ×Heucherella is distinguished by:
-
- 1. medium size, palmatifid leaves with prominent sinuses,
- 2. silver veiled leaves that change background colors from purple tinted green to copper tinted,
- 3. prominent dark veins in summer through winter leaves
- 4. a low mounding plant habit,
- 5. grows equally well in full sun or filtered shade in the Pacific Northwest, and
- 6. excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new ×Heucherella cultivar based on observations of two-year-old specimens growing in one gallon containers in a cold greenhouse in March in Canby, Oreg. Canby is Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, fifth edition.
